Palazzo Parigi Hotel & Grand Spa, Milan
More photosPalazzo Parigi Hotel & Grand Spa stands as a luxurious bridge between Milanese tradition and Parisian elegance. Built on the site of the historic Palazzo Cramer, which dated back to the 17th century, the current hotel was opened in 2013 by architect and owner Paola Giambelli. She commissioned the renowned designer Pierre-Yves Rochon to craft interiors that perfectly blend minimalist Italian style with opulent French romanticism.
The hotel is a massive, purpose-built sanctuary that feels like a classic grand palace. One of its most striking features is the 15,000-square-foot Grand Spa, which serves as a Moroccan-inspired oasis in the heart of the city. Guests often gravitate toward the lush, centuries-old private garden, a rare green retreat where you can enjoy afternoon tea or cocktails away from the urban rush.
Every detail inside feels deliberate, from the hand-painted ceilings and Italian marble to the custom Murano glass chandeliers. With around 100 rooms and suites—many featuring private terraces—the hotel manages to feel both expansive and intimate, catering to those who appreciate refined craftsmanship and sophisticated design.
Location-wise, it is perfectly positioned between the trendy, art-focused Brera district and the world-famous fashion boutiques of the Quadrilatero della Moda. Whether you want to visit the iconic Duomo di Milano, catch a performance at the legendary Teatro alla Scala, or stroll through the historic Sforzesco Castle, you are never more than a short walk or quick trip away from the city’s finest landmarks.
